Never while watching any of the Olympics have I ever cheered and cried so much as I did watching this year. I had to stay up to watch Michael Phelps race each of his races, I couldn't hear second hand how he did. I yelled at the TV, jumped up and down, and as he looked for his mom in the crowd....cried. He looked for his mom! How sweet is that....that is what I love about a mother/son bond! And hearing his life story about how he was made fun of and has ADHD, but never gave up on his dreams. What an amazing mother to instill that on her son! His story is truly inspiring...to me as a mother, athlete, teacher, human being. WOW!!
But, I'm sorry to say he might have a competitor out for his record of gold medals in the future.
Michael Phelps meet Alan Overmyer!!

love it! We have definatly broken the bedtime rules over here allowing the kiddos to stay up and watch! How could ya not!~ I too want to be the mom in those stands and Jackson looking up in the crowd for me! 2016 olympics maybe we'll see him there!HAHA!
So, so true!!!! I was so caught up in Phelps fever too and I also was weepy when I hear the way he talks about his mom. It is so true that bond is one of the strongest bonds. I could just see AJ one day saying what a wonderful mommy he has and how you supported him in everything. Love it!!
Oh, I was the same way...cried, jumped, screamed, and the mother thing...priceless. He is a love! And, I know you will be an incredible mommy for his whole life!
I can already see it now... :)

He is my all-star and doesn't need the olympics to prove it.
